Exposure
Johanna Nutter does not only tell a very personal story, but also crosses over to perform in French
by Gaëtan L. Charlebois

I have been waiting to see Johanna Nutter's My Pregnant Brother for a long time and was even more excited to be seeing it opening night, performed by the actor/playwright, in French. It is as if she has taken a personal tale and ratcheted the intensity up a notch, taking risks few actors dare. I had followed Nutter's blog at CharPo religiously and had studied Barbara Ford's profile of the actor and was ready...or thought that I was ready.
